Every group has some sort of non-compete class, go slide your car around. Also check out other local clubs like Porsche, Lotus, BMW, maybe some other car club or a 3rd party autox group, they typically get way more runs out here than SCCA for the same price and sometimes they have a more laid back, welcoming atmosphere.
Everybody gets their panties in a twist but unless your wheels are too big I doubt you'd run a competitive
STX time, let alone
SM, hell without the right tire compound you'll probably get blown away by
street class cars unless you can drive the wheels off the thing. I know, I have that happen to me cause I'm not a good enough driver yet and there's some wicked fast locals here.
Hell I've seen supercharged 86's show up and not put up times competitive with street class cars. It's all about that nut behind the wheel, and tires.
Edit:
Go try it, if you get bit by the bug you'll find a way to be competitive. Put the interior back, swap out clutch/flywheel/driveshaft, trade the wheels if they're the wrong size (lighter wheels allowed in all classes), buy the right tires and have an existential crisis about the money you're spending. idk none of your mods sound like they're 'must haves', I wouldn't even do them if I was building an unlimited class car (except the interior gutting and maybe the wheels depending on the size).
